ME 523 Heat Conduction

Course Webpage

Credit Structure: (3+0) 3

Description :

Diffusion of heat in a rigid, homogeneous and isotropic medium, so called heat conduction, will be studied analytically.  Lumped, Integral and Differential Formulations, Separation of Variables in the Rectangular, Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinate Systems for 1-D, 2-D and 3-D bodies will be studied.  Unsteady problems and Laplace Transformations will be addressed.  The use of Duhamel’s Theorem and conduction in One Dimensional Composite Medium will be studied as well.

Priori knowledge of fluid mechanics and vector calculus are helpful but not necessary.

Course Objectives :

This course is design to give students methodology of approach to formulation and solution of heat conduction problems.
